The bar charts give the information about UK graduates and postgraduates’ activities when they left college in 2008. There are four categories: part-time occupation, voluntary work, further study and unemployment.
As can be seen from both graphs, the number of students who chose to carry on studies was the largest, while a few people chose to work voluntarily. In addition, the quantity of part-time workers was higher than unemployed rates.
The first chart shows the destination of UK graduates. The biggest number is seen on students who decided to study further – 29,665. Likewise, there were 17,735 part-time workers and 16,235 struggled from unemployment, respectively. Finally, only 3500 decided to be occupied voluntarily.
In the second chart, the proportion of postgraduates with part-time jobs and further studies reached almost identical result – 2535 and 2725. Moreover, while 1625 people were unemployed, 345 individuals were volunteers.
